Sep 2023: Younger Friends Becoming Quaker
Ends on
Yes, there are some Friends meetings and churches with a healthy mix of ages. But there are many more that are graying. Like many denominations today we are having a hard time retaining young people and attracting young families. How can we turn this around? How to we bring children, teens, and young adults into the life of the meeting? What supports and education do we give? How do we balance freedom and exploration with safety and instruction? And how do we invite them back into the life of meetings after school and work travel have settled them elsewhere? Read more in our Editor's Desk call for submissions.
Submissions due 6/26/2023.
